This place was a little hard to find, but I liked it. Helpful staff. Clean. The room I was given was not in the photos, but a again I liked it. This is important though because the bed was up in a loft area accessible by a very steep ladder. If you're anything less than agile (age, disability, ect…) this could pose an issue. It was kinda fun but I thought I was gonna kill myself a couple of times trying to get my morning coffee up to sit on the bed.

The walls have ZERO insulation. That means that any activity whatsoever, you will hear vividly. Walking up stairs, neighbors having sex, doors closing. Luckily this wasn't a huge issue while I was there.

One last thing: This area of town is not exactly "central". I bring it up because I got ditched twice in one night, trying to take Tuk Tuk's from the city center. Once they understood how far I was going, they wanted no part. My phone died, and I ended up walking about 4 miles (at night) through a local maze of favela's. I would have been totally helpless, had I not walked the route in the daytime several days earlier.

Summary: It's a good spot for the lone wolf. Interesting neighborhood. Nice locals.
